Self-driving to Tibet | Five things you must know before going to Renlongba Glacier, unlock the blue ice achievement after completion

Self-driving on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road for 40 days Entering Tibet from Route 318, going to Ranwu to see the glacier, we gave up the well-known glaciers such as Laigu, Midui, and chose the relatively niche Renlongba Glacier. Originally, I just wanted to avoid some travel routines and be able to comfortably look at the glacier from a distance. I didn't expect to achieve it all at once, and achieved the 'Blue Ice Achievement' in one go, satisfying my beautiful fantasy. So, how do you get here? How to play? Understand these five things in advance to help you easily see the blue ice. 1⃣️Basic situation of Renlongba Glacier Renlongba, this low-latitude maritime glacier at the junction of Changdu Ranwu and Linzhi Chayu in Tibet, not only has a huge and wide beautiful ice tongue, but the moraine lake under the glacier can also form a dreamy blue ice belt. 2⃣️The season that can unlock the 'Blue Ice Achievement' In the past, when I was planting grass on the glacier on the Internet, I always thought that I had to go through a lot of twists and turns to appreciate the blue ice. As a result, the first glacier we arrived in Tibet has woven a deep and beautiful blue dream for us. The climate varies every year, the state of the blue ice is different, and every encounter is an irreplaceable luck. For Renlongba Glacier, the probability of seeing blue ice from October of each year to February of the following year is greater than other months. 3⃣️How to go to Renlongba Glacier? If you want to see the blue ice, the first step is to enter the glacier. This glacier is suitable for self-driving or chartering. There are two situations for entering Renlongba Glacier: ——If you are a car, urban off-road, don't hesitate, park the car at the gate of the scenic spot, and then take the villagers' bread or pickup to go. Because there are dirt roads similar to tractor roads along the way, and there are water-crossing sections, the overall road conditions are poor. The total charge is 70 yuan/person, which is equivalent to a 50 yuan ticket + 20 yuan round-trip transportation. When you get close to the glacier, you don't have to worry about the return time, because there are cars waiting for tourists at any time. This road is about three kilometers long. The villagers' cars will only go to Renlongba Glacier on the right. ——If you are a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, the driver's skills are good, you can drive in by yourself. The charge is 50 yuan, but in addition to Renlongba Glacier, you can also drive to the glacier on the left. It is equivalent to buy one get one free for the glacier. The end of the dirt road is not at the foot of the glacier. Next, you have to ride a horse or walk for a kilometer to get there. The cost of horse riding is 150 yuan/person round trip, and the horse lead will not urge tourists. But in fact, if you are accustomed to the altitude of about 4000 meters, you can also walk there, the road is relatively easy to walk. 4⃣️How to play Renlongba Glacier? Little friends may all want to walk on the blue ice, but our suggestion is not to go on the glacier, and it's okay to look at it up close. One is to protect the glacier as much as possible, and the other is to slowly watch the panorama of the glacier. The distant view can also express the wonderfulness of the glacier. When shooting from a distance, the camera lens can also include the beauty of every corner of the glacier. 5⃣️Practical tips for self-driving tours 📱Navigation: Set 'Renlongba Glacier' or 'Rinlungba Glacier'. ⛽Refueling: It is recommended to refuel in Ranwu Town before setting off. 🅿️ Parking: There is a parking lot next to the gate of the scenic spot, and parking is free. ⏳Time: It is recommended to arrange half a day to explore Renlongba Glacier. ▶️The above content is summarized based on personal travel experience, please forgive me if there are any omissions. ▶️Affected by time, some scenes may change, based on the current situation. ▶️The address location information is provided by the website, if you need more detailed information, please leave a message. ▶️All the scenic spots traveled by Cai Cai Juaner and Mr. Dog can be reached by car. 🔸🔹🔸 If you like self-driving tours and don't take the usual path, please listen to Cai Cai Juaner's narration.
